After 7 years I am ready to upgrade

Been debating between this and the 212 RGB Black Edition, however the master air has better looks imo and would rather buy that. I do not see it stock anywhere, is it because of the coronavirus? or was it discontinued?

Thanks

So say you want 32gb of ram, is better to do 2x16gb or 4x8gb?

I am giving my older parts (3570K, 16gb ram, r9 290x) to my wife so she has a PC for school. I don't plan to upgrade again for another 6-7 years. I already bought a gigabyte 5700xt for the GPU. I game at 1440p. I have seen all benchmarks online and sweet spot seems to be the 10600K and that...

I only saw the 10700K briefly at bestbuy before going out of stock. Do you think it will be in th next couple of weeks or it may take months?

I have Soundblaster Z and Logitech z906 speakers. I use the 6 ch direct method, 3 aux cables to the sound card to #1 input (3aux cable in) on the Z906 speakers. I know that 6ch direct way lets the sound card do the work and if I use the optical then the speakers will do the work. However for...

I currently have the Omen but was wonder if the PQ was better on the Samsung?

Will use for web browsing/Youtube/MS Word/Excel. But also wanted to know what kind of game would this run out of curiosity. Will be reusing SSD and HDD. Intel - Pentium G4600 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor $87 MSI - B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $50 G.Skill - NT Series 8GB (2 x...

can it run N64 well?

Yep, the reason is I want to build my dad a cheap as possible PC for mostly web browsing, youtube, MS office. I will be reusing some parts from the old system (ie. psu, ssd, gpu). So since the old system had my old HD 4850, I was wondering if it would be worth it to stick it in the new system or...

How does it compare against each other?

thank you very much.

Yes, I will basically be using it for gaming.

So I just bought the CM cooler under the impresion that it would work but on the outside box the sticker says Support Intel 1151 and AMD AM4, no mention of Intel 1155. Am I screwed?

I am on Win10 and my speakers are Logitech Z906. I am currently using the X-fi Titanium which I believe has served me well. But was recently gifted the Z, was wondering if it would be a good idea to change to it?

I have a Samsung KS8000 65" and AFAIK they should have bluetooth should I would be able to pair them with any bluetooth headphones. I am looking for something so that I can watch movies/games while the SO sleeps and vice versa. Budget is sub $100 and I am looking for over the ear so that in...

thank you, the thing it I wont be doing the installation myself, so the person doing it doesnt know about ocing. But I might just stick to a new gpu. He lives abroad so not sure when he will be able to buy a new monitor, is the 1070 still worth it for 1080p? or too overkill?

SO my brothers gaming PC is starting to show its age, he games in 1080p (might upgrade sometime down the line). And these are his current specs: CPU: AMD FX 8320 (3.5GHZ - 8 cores) MOBO: Not sure RAM: 8gb GPU: Sapphire Dual X Radeon R9 280 3GB SAPPHIRE DUAL-X Radeon R9 280 Budget is not huge...

this monitor came out a few weeks ago, yet I cannot find almost any reviews on it. Its 1440p, 75hz, freesync, MVA panel and fast response time and at a great price. Anyone here has any experience with it?

So I bought a refurb (server pulled HDD), and I cant get it to initialize on Win10, I get the following messages: The first pic is when I do the MBR option and second when I do the GPT

both can be had for about same price. A small advantage for compu stick is that its windows and thus easy to get things working. But which would be more powerful to emulate up to PS1/N64?

Seems like its extremely easy to set up, however has anyone been able to play the roms of an external HD? And what is max size SD card the Pi3 will recognize?

oh, thank you very much.

I saw this: MSI Cubi 2 Plus-004BUS Intel H110 2 x 260Pin SO-DIMM Integrated HD graphics Black Barebone Systems - Mini / Booksize - Newegg.com or Jet.com - Prices Drop As You Shop

so the cubi2 comes with a i3 6300t?

I want to buy a MSI Cubi2 to turn into a dedicated emulation machine, but it lists its CPU as a Skylake-S? I cannot find any information on it. Is it better than the CPU on the MSI cubi1 the Intel Pentium 3805U??

so I am thinking of picking up a MSI cubi for $150 from amazon to build a dedicates emulation machine. I only need to buy additional ram for $30 (8gb) as I already have a spare HD and windows key. Would that little machine run all of that? Amazon.com: MSI Cubi Intel Pentium 3805U 1.9 GHz DDR3L...

Thanks for the reply guys, I went to the ms site and downloaded an .exe file and did the upgrade with that. Now next step is to do clean install

I think I started the download about 2 hours ago, but its still at the same screen that says starting download. Is this normal?

So basically I want a tiny pc to hook up to my tv to mainly play console emulators all the way up to ps1/n64/mame/etc and to watch movies. I have considered many option like rapsberry pi3, lenovo ideacentre 300 stick, kangoroo pc, etc. But so far the one below seems like the best bang for your...

Could be in the future, not in any real hurry. After watching youtube another option I was considering is the raspberry pi3 with retro pie. Anyone have experience with it? Can it run up to ps1/n64/mame?

Thanks, what would be a good cheapo video card to fit in it, that is good for emulation?

I am trying to build the cheapest emulation dedicated PC, that also takes the least amount of space and trying to keep it around $300 So far based on you guys recommendations this is the cheapest I can build: (already have a HD and OS) Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core, GeForce GTX 750 1GB...

Which GPU?

Which monitor would be better? Both have IPS/MVA and both are freesync. BuyDig.com - LG 34UM68-P 34" 21:9 UltraWide FreeSync(2560 x1080) IPS Monitor HP Pavilion 32" LED LCD Widescreen Monitor (V1M69A#ABA Black) - Walmart.com

I think its just randomly, sometimes very soon after turning on the monitor, sometimes after a while. Moving the monitor a bit back and forth solves the issue, but I wonder how long until it fails me

how long after the line first started appearing until it became permanen?

So for a while now, this blue line has been popping on my monitor like it comes and goes. Sometimes it wont appear for days. First I made sure it wasnt the connections so I properly plugged the hdmi cable. Then I switch hdmi cable. Then I made sure it wasn't the connection the video card end. It...
